Diebold safe
I guess I should start by saying I'm new to this. I found an old diebold safe on Craigslist and thought opening would be a good cold weather indoor project. I've done tons of reading and looked at pictures of the insides of different locks. Thought I was up to the challenge. Now I'm not so sure. Kinda have hit a wall. So I'm looking for advice. I believe there are three wheels plus the drive wheel. I also believe this must be a direct entry lock. I also believe that the last number is 47. If you apply pressure to the handle it locks the dial basically stationary except between about 45 and 50. So I assume this is a true gate. I have another suspected gate at about 55. My graph will show you why I think that. I originally thought that number would be on the third wheel but now am doubting myself. My set up is a dial indicator set up on the handle using a magnetic base with a torque wrench to turn the handle to apply the same force every time. Anyone have any advice or pictures of the inside of one of these exact locks? Sorry for the long drawn out description. Thank you in advance.
